The next morning, Roy stretched and disentangled himself from Mio and Yuki, who were clinging to him like koala bears.

Maria was nowhere to be seen. She must be preparing breakfast in the kitchen.

He got out of bed and went to the kitchen. As expected, Maria was busy cooking.

"Maria—you're up early," Roy commented, gently patting her head.

He felt a pang of affection for her. After all, she had just become his woman last night.

But he also couldn't help but admire her skills. As a succubus—she was a natural in bed, and her techniques were impressive.

Even Roy, with his experience, was surprised.

But no matter how skilled she was, she was still no match for him.

"I wanted to make a delicious breakfast for Onii-chan," Maria replied with a bright smile.

"Thank you for your hard work. But let me take over today," Roy said, taking the spatula from her.

"Really?" Maria's eyes lit up.

Roy's cooking was the best she had ever tasted.

"Of course," Roy confirmed with a nod.

"Yay!" Maria cheered.

"But first, you have to lie down on the counter," Roy added with a mischievous grin.

Maria was confused, but she complied. She lay down on the counter and looked at Roy expectantly. "Like this?"

"Yes, perfect..." Roy nodded, then...

Maria was stunned. She hadn't expected this.

Roy, meanwhile—started asking her some questions. Now that he had "conquered" her, there was no need to keep pretending to be an average human.

Playing the fool was fun occasionally, but it was time to get down to business.

"Maria, you said you had something to tell me, right?"

"Ah, yes, that's right!"

"What is it? Tell me, and I'll help you."

"It's... it's about my mother. She... she was captured by Zolgear—a cadre of the Demon Faction. And he's been threatening me..." Maria finally confessed, her voice trembling.

She revealed everything: her mission to spy on Mio, Zolgear's plot...

And she even climaxed twice during their "conversation."

"I see. Don't worry, Maria. I'll definitely rescue your mother," Roy promised.

"Th-thank you, Onii-chan."

"It's no problem. Just trust me."@@novelbin@@

Roy easily agreed.

Rescuing Maria's mother was a simple task for him!

Soon, a delicious breakfast was ready.

The aroma woke up Mio and Yuki.

"Wow! Onii-chan made breakfast! This is great!" Mio exclaimed excitedly.

Even Yuki couldn't help but drool, despite not knowing what he had cooked.

During breakfast, Roy told them about Maria's situation.

Mio was initially upset that Maria had been spying on her, but she eventually forgave her after Roy explained everything.

After all, Maria had been forced to do it, and she hadn't harmed Mio in any way.

"So, Maria—do you know where Zolgear is? If we know his location, we can go rescue your mother," Roy asked.

"I'm sorry, Onii-chan. I don't know where he is, or where my mother is being held," Maria replied sadly.

"Don't worry, we'll find a way," Roy reassured her, patting her head gently.

"Even if we knew his location, we can't just barge in there," Yuki said with a frown. Although she knew Roy was powerful, Zolgear was a Demon cadre and had hostages.

Rescuing Maria's mother wouldn't be easy.

Mio agreed. Even if they could defeat Zolgear, he must have many subordinates.

It would be difficult for them to rescue Maria's mother with just the four of them.

Roy, hearing their concerns, chuckled. "Don't worry. Once we find Zolgear's base, I'll find a way to rescue the hostages. Trust me."

The girls nodded, convinced by his confidence.

Finding Zolgear's base was easy.

Yahiro Takigawa, the Demon sent to monitor Mio, would definitely know its location.

They just had to ask him.

After breakfast, they went to school!

....

"Yahiro Takigawa, come with me," Roy said, calling him out of the classroom.

Yahiro was surprised. He rarely interacted with Roy, and Roy had never paid much attention to him.

Why was he calling him out now? Had his identity been exposed?

He hesitantly followed Roy, Mio, and the others to the rooftop.

The rooftop, where they had fought before, had a nice view.

"Yahiro Takigawa, do you know why you're still alive?" Roy asked, his back turned towards Yahiro as he looked at the scenery.

Yahiro frowned. "I don't understand what you mean."

"Heh, you don't? Then let me tell you. You should have died after you controlled that Stray Demon to attack us last time. Understand?"

Yahiro's expression changed. He had been discovered.

A chill ran down his spine. Roy suddenly seemed much more menacing.

Mio, Maria, and Yuki were stunned. So it was their classmate who had orchestrated the Stray Demon attack?

They were furious.

"What do you want?" Yahiro asked, already thinking of ways to escape. This wasn't a puppet. It was his real body.

If he was killed here, he would truly die.

"Don't worry, you're still alive because you're still useful," Roy said with a smirk.

Yahiro's expression turned grim. He was no match for Roy, and he didn't believe Roy had shown his true strength yet.

"What do you want me to do?"

"Simple. Take us to Zolgear," Roy replied calmly.

Yahiro's eyes widened. So Roy was planning to confront Zolgear.

He actually had a grudge against Zolgear. His adoptive parents, who were high-ranking Demons serving the previous Demon Lord—had been killed by Zolgear.

"Alright, I agree."

He would gladly help Roy deal with Zolgear.

Maria was overjoyed and threw her arms around Roy.

"Thank you, Onii-chan!"

"It's nothing," Roy chuckled, patting her head.

Maria was even more grateful and determined to "reward" him properly tonight....

They followed Yahiro to a castle.

"This is Zolgear's current base," Yahiro explained.

Roy sensed Zolgear's presence inside.

"You can leave now," Roy said to Yahiro, then took Maria's hand and entered the castle.

"Let me come too!" Yahiro suddenly said, kneeling on one knee. "I also have a grudge against Zolgear. Could you let me witness his death?"

Roy glanced at him.

"Fine."

Yahiro's face lit up with joy, and he followed them inside.

"Who's there?"

Just as Roy was about to push the door open, a girl with short white hair, tanned skin, and revealing clothes blocked their path.

"That's Zest—one of Zolgear's artificial demons subordinates," Yahiro explained.

"How dare you betray Master Zolgear—Yahiro Takigawa?!" Zest snarled.

Yahiro simply smirked without replying.

Zest's shout alerted the other artificial beings within the castle.

They swarmed out, mindless and hostile, and attacked.

"Onii-chan, what do we do?" Mio and Maria asked nervously, seeing the approaching horde.

"Don't worry, I've got this," Roy said with a smile, then snapped his fingers.

Snap!

The ground froze over, and all the artificial demons—except for Zest, were encased in ice.

Shatter!

The ice exploded, and the artificial demons vanished into dust.

Yahiro's eyes widened in shock, and a cold sweat trickled down his forehead.

As he had suspected—Roy was incredibly powerful.

Mio, Maria, and Yuki were also stunned.

"Did we teach Onii-chan that spell? No, we don't even know that spell!" Mio whispered to Maria.

"It doesn't matter. As long as it's Onii-chan, it's fine!" Maria replied, shrugging.

They couldn't explain it—but they trusted Roy implicitly.

They had already entrusted everything to him.
